Sane with my nexus 7 2012 version. Download verification failed twice. Now its been over 20 hours where the tablet is stuck on the retry download screen. Does anyone know how to resolve this ?

One of the first thread in general section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848

I'm having exactly the same problem. Pressing retry doesn't do anything!

Looks like we are all waiting until the next batch of updates roll out. Two options from here, wait patiently for the update to appear again, or install it manually.
I'm not really one for waiting so this could be painful haha

Same problem. What are you guys planning to do?

Mine downloaded the whole file and then failed. So close yet so far!

Change the date and try again. I switched to manual date and time, advanced a month and hit retry and downloaded perfectly! hope this works for others

I have a similar problem. I have a Nexus 4 bought in the UK, and being used in India. Completely stock, no root or boot unlock. I got the 4.3 OTA update without a hitch in India.
I got the notification for 4.4 OTA a few days ago. But the device just downloads the 238.9 MB update again and again and says "verification failed" each time. After downloading a few times, it stops for the day and says "couldn't download" as the OP says.
This process is eating up my battery and wifi data. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could the update be failing because I'm in the wrong country?
Thanks

google "nexus 4 factory images"
it'll take you to the official download page from google. Download the file, extract, and run the batchfile.

I got the OTA. I simply installed TunnelBear (VPN with monthly 500MB free), chose the UK server option, and waited. Either it worked or Google fixed their update system at the same time.

[Q] did google stop ota update for nexus 4

anyone know if google pulled the OTA update due to issues.? its been three weeks now and my stock nexus 4 hasn't received it. i bough it directly from google so i though they would be the first devices updated. i don't want to update it manually with the OTA files in case there are any issues with it

If you sideload the OTA it's exactly the same as if Google had pushed it to you. Just fyi. I'm not sure if they canceled the ota but I've been on lollipop since they released the ota files with no issues after a sideload.

No, they didn't. I received OTA a week ago, as have some of my friends (Serbia).

after hearing about nexus 4 issues like with texting i wanted to wait until google delivers it to my phone, i already loaded the OTA on my nexus 4 2012 so it would be easy for me to do

MOB30D build mirror

For reasons that haven't been specified yet, the builds labeled MOB30D have been removed from the Nexus Factory Image page.
I uploaded it on the mirror, so, you can download if you want flash it. [Nexus 7 (2013) Wi-Fi]

Weird they pulled it. Whats up with that. I didn't flash it. Notice any problems or super-secret files left in there?

I haven't flashed it either. I assume the found a bug.

I flashed it but I not noticed any issues so far

I still haven't flashed it but have been listening to some Mobb Deep. MOB30D!

Anyone having issues with this release? Debating whether or not to flash my unit. I notice that the Nexus 7 WiFi has binary files available with a MMB29X release.
This is interesting....found this link on Sprint's website: https://community.sprint.com/baw/message/1038775
Almost seems like MMB30D was suppose to have been the mid-March security release.
Features/Enhancements:
•Revision of March Android Security Update to include new fixes
For those who flashed this MMB30D onto the Nexus 7, what is the date in ABOUT PHONE. Is it April 1 or April 2?

2 april

The last image for the Nexus 7 2013 razor that I see is still MMB29V.
So much for Google being responsive in getting security updates out. I would have thought that after making a big deal out of that mid-March kernel fiasco that they would have fixed and re-released the images for the three devices that they pulled for whatever reason on Monday. It's now the weekend and no explanation or update from Google. Why am I not surprised?

Build "MOB30D" again available for download via direct link.
On site, it still not displayed.

All direct links stopped working after ~20 minutes after hiding from site.
And today they start working again, but still not displayed in the list.

I just factory defaulted my Nexus 7 (2013) device and installed this new factory image (MOD30D). Once I logged into my Google account, I got an email that I successfully logged into a Nexus 7 (2102).......2012??? WTF?
I wonder if there is/was an issue with the image's fingerprint where it would think that the 2013 model is actually a 2012 model.

Builds MOB30D for both models Nexus 7 2013, finaly, available in the list.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

These builds are uploaded again to nexus pages. And include a lots of bug fixes.

Just flashed new image with WUG, rerooted, flashed Xposed and ElementalX

I'm confused. I flashed MOB30D when Google first posted it, but then took it down. Now MOB30D is back up. Do I need to re-lash it?

They probably took it down for some reason first time. Flash again.

These monthly updates while obviously a good thing, there also kind of a pain in the ass. Every month I have to flash the new image, re-root the phone, use Titanium Backup, to go in and delete enough from sys partition, to flash Xposed, followed by flashing my beloved ElementalX kernel. Unless there is some way to streamline all that, a noob like me isn't aware of. Presumably we got just a couple weeks till the May security update anyway. I'll wait.

Use WUG no wipe option, then root with WUG. Not all that difficult.

Changing builds

Want to change my build from Verizon NBD91V to N4F26O for all other carriers. Any easy way to do it? Can I side load an OTA or do I have to side load a factory image and lose all my stuff? Any other way to do it? I'm stuck on 7.0 and would like to update to 7.1.1. or 7.1.2.
Thanks

Yes, you can easily flash between builds/carriers with no ill effects. Download the full Google stock image (not OTA) and do it manually with flash-all.bat (first edit this file in Notepad to remove the -w (wipe) switch so as to not lose your userdata) or you can install and use a toolkit like NRT or Skipsoft found here on XDA to automate the process. Google has released a few images specific to Verizon that included a modified radio, but that radio also works well on all networks. Current radio version is v03.79 for Verizon and v03.78 for all others.

You could always flash a custom rom.

So I flashed a stock image, will I still get OTA updates? Haven't gotten Feb. Update yet.

If you did flash stock, and remained completely stock (ie. not rooted, no custom recovery or kernel) you should get regular OTA security updates. Your OP says you wanted to flash N4F26O which is the February update. March updates are coming out this week, so I would just wait to receive a March OTA. If you get tired of waiting, then side load the March OTA when it is posted.

I'm actually on N4F26J, I couldn't get N4F26O to work with the Nexus Toolkit for some reason. And yes I'm completely stock otherwise.

The only way I know of to try to force an OTA is to swap a SIM from a different carrier into your phone, let it connect (carrier shows in notification). Try to update in settings>>about phone. Then swap your SIM back in. If this doesn't work (it did for me) then.... March updates are coming out this week, so just wait to receive a March OTA. If you get tired of waiting, then side load the March OTA when it is posted.

Nexus 6p on beta sofware mode but no updates since july

Hi all
im currently running on the latest update which is july updates with android 8.0 and july security. i havent got any updates. when i go on to check software updates it says "your system is up to date" with android version: 8.0.0. and security patch level: July 5, 2017. any help will be great.
thanks

Your best bet would be too download the update manually. Do you have access to a computer?

Manually update. Even if your bootloader is locked you can sideload a new OTA. Why wait?

Just leave the beta programm. Got the September patch 30 seconds after leaving. Also it won't make any difference until Google uploads the first Android 9 dev builds, wich probably won't come for the 6P anyway

I'd try to sideload the OTA manually if I were you. Using the stock recovery.
If that goes well then you are done.

I also had to unenroll from the beta to get the Sept updates.

I'm on T-Mobile and have not received any September security patch. I am going to have to side load

is there any video on how to manually update. since im been trying its not helping when there is no tutorial on how to manually update

I'm experiencing the same issue. I already unenrolled & re-enrolled in the beta once to try to fix my battery issues and it's stuck at the July update. If I unenroll it again, will it wipe the phone?
